Determining Inheritance Distributions via Stochastic Penetrances
通过随机外显率确定遗传分布
The aim of linkage analysis is to map the position of a gene contributing to an inheritable disease. The statistical model contains the disease allele frequency and penetrance parameters. Here I investigate the inheritance distribution, that is, the conditional distribution of the inheritance vector given phenotypes at the disease locus. Based on this, the likelihood and likelihood score function of Whittemore can be defined. As a result, a general semiparametric methodology…
